Welcome to the new server!!
 

Sorry that the board went down so sudden, But we have been fighting to get a back up of are database from the old server and as soon as we got the news that they did it I shut it down for the move!!

Thanks to John for 5 weeks of non stop work on the board to get us to were we are now!! With out him we still be on the old board!

Thanks John for all your hard work!!


I hope all like the speed of the new board!! The hard part is over!!

In the up coming weeks we will be working on customizing the board for some better looks!

Thank you for all the hard work in moving the board and geting it running fast.
It is great to have a link to home while in a foreign country.

I don't think the emoticons are working.

Yes we know they don't work, we will get it going in a couple of days. It has to do with changing are domain name, but it will be fixed!

Domo origato.

Thank you for those kind words, Joe. Yes, there is still another step to getting us officially changed over, and until that can be accomplished, some things might not work quite right. Everything will be fixed in due course. I think I might still have to rescue the smilies off the old server but, at the moment, I am too tired to mess with it. I will play with it a little in the afternoon tomorrow and try to make it all pretty for the weekend.

Meanwhile, I hope the increase in server performance is apparent. I think this server is at least twice as fast as the old one and a hell of a lot more stable. I don't know what those guys did on that old server, but something used to drag that site to a standstill. It was partly because the old YaBB board had grown into an unmanageable monster of Tokyo crushing proportions, but there was something else afoot there too. At first I thought it was traffic from other sites on the server bogging it down, but it would happen at 3 in the morning? :confused:

I never did figure it out but it doesn't matter. We are shot of the place now, and I think everyone will like the new digs a lot better. You have a cleaner, leaner site with a message board system designed to work in communities with thousands of members and a million plus posts. Even as chatty as this community is, it should take years to challenge the resources we now enjoy.

As Joe has said, the hard part is over and your patience was key. Now we can sit back, drop a line in the water and crack a cold one.

You two guys do good work! John thanks for helping Joe and all of us! Billy Mac :)

Thanks John and MJ. If you need any help just let me know. I know nothing about computers but I can nod in agreement or disagreement very convincingly. Seems to help my boss run things better.

Well done...THANKS!

New Board is fast. Now the WET threads can be all they can be :)

Thanks for all the hard work.
